Sussex Census Returns 1841 - Volume 13

Product Description

The 1841 Census was taken on the night of the 7th June. The persons in each household are listed
with their occupations but the relationship between them is not shown. The ages up to 14 are supposed
to be correct and those above 14 have generally been rounded down to a multiple of five, e.g.
24 was reduced to 20 and 29 to 25. With regard to the places of birth, 'Y(es)' stands for
those born in the county of their residence and 'N(o)' for those not born in the same county.

The 1841 Census is the earliest and most complete record of the inhabitants in Sussex in existence.
It is therefore of tremendous importance to family historians, often providing the bridge
between the civil registration records that started in 1837 and parish records that in
some cases date back to 1538.
